Difference between Totipotent and pluripotent stem cells?

Answer Posted / nishant

Differences are very few between totipotent and pluripotent
stem cells.The genetic code remains the same.

The potency for making all bodily tissues remains the same.
When using the blastocyst as source, the trophechtoderm is
removed and this denies to the internal hES cells access to
what is necessary for implantation.

Difference in the the pluripotent stem cells is their loss
of the blastocyst environment and the potential for sharing
in the benefits of implantation.

Totally, it is not nature but rather the laboratory
procedure that drives cells from totipotency to pluripotency
